About the Event

Our mission is to directly connect government and industry employers in the intelligence, defense, and aerospace communities with top engineering students for potential internship, co-operative, and/or full-time employment opportunities in the national security field. Over the course of our career fair, you will have an opportunity to meet with employers, share your resume, and set up post-career fair interviews.
